As a journalist I find preprints tough. Often it's interesting stuff & there's pressure from editors to cover. But authors won't/can't comment, and colleagues are reluctant to say anything about something that might change before publication. So they just sit there, sometimes for years, tempting me.

15 years ago (!!!) I covered a PR event for German hydrogen cars. Everyone was using fuel cells EXCEPT BMW, which was promoting a car fueled by liquid hydrogen that you could only obtain at one station in Berlin. That station was bulldozed a few months ago, but BMW is still playing their games...
